List Mgmt. 2023 Trade Thread - Part IV

[EddieMurphy]

ohhhh mid season trading - Shiel can be got in June

He's falling apart, by mid season next year he will be sharing a room with DMac at Healing Hans sanitorium in Germany.

 

[Sully111]

Of course he can make that decision, but it's the type of attitude I'd rather not have at the club.

Thankfully for him Melbourne has worked out, but he chose to possibly play VFL at Sandy over AFL at Freo.

Think that's just all in your head mate

 

[BrutThough]

Do you guys want to be competitive or vindictive?

They want everyone traded so they can spend the next 12 months complaining about how we are uncompetitive.

If we kept a competent full back, we might win more games which is disappointing to many.

 

[Joffaboy]

You guys have got throwing christians to lions and football mixed up.

Blood in the water, a feeding frenzy

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Very cheap get for Carlton.

 

[Yawkey way]

How dare he want to stay in Victoria

Obviously refused to sign his jumper, campaigner

Vindictive

 

[Joffaboy]

So now Billings is gone, which players is going to be the target for made up stories about their mental state?

Stocker?

 

[SaintJunior]

unless we are getting an upgrade towards the pointy end of the draft why in hell would we accept late picks and pay a chunk of his salary .

Nothing in it for us .

Upgrading pick 21 for 11 or gtfo .

How dare he want to stay in Victoria

When you career is on the line and there could be senior football opportunity and you refuse to move interstate for it is pretty poor. If there is heaps of suitors in Victoria no worries and luckily there is. But if there wasn’t he’d just be playing at sandy next year. No desire to better himself. Poor mentality

 

[SteeleSaints]

Even picks past about 21 are pretty hit and miss this year. Probably more like picks in the 30s of some other drafts.

This years draft is no different to any other, excluding the midfield depth but has other strengths. Lets sit back and wait to see where things pan out and backing Toce` and Roughead to do their jobs.

The talk of us paying Billings salary is just speculation, how about we cool our heals until the details are released.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Chito, if he starts his first quarter of Round 1 slowly.

And he's got a suitor in Victoria. At a club who should be playing finals next year.
How mentally weak of him for accepting that.

He ended up at Melbourne

 

[George]

I thought that you didn't even buy a membership?

What?

 

[Remboy]

How good will it be watching Billings, Acres, Coffield & Gresham playing finals next year?

Not as good as watching us play finals.

Wasn't on the line, 2 years on his contract, could have just stayed where he was. Went to a top four team in Melbourne.

 

[Murraj1966]

Good riddance Billings. Softest mentality I’ve seen in a footballer

Came to the fore against Carlton last year when he had an open easy kick in the middle and instead of biting off the risk he waits and waits before dumping long to a contest for a turnover.

One of the biggest disappointments to wear the red white and black without hyperbole.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Hence why I said lucky he does. But a few weeks ago it seemed pretty dry so you’d assume he would’ve jumped at the opportunity to go to Fremantle.

 

[gringo2011]

Every chance that he plays and actually helps their forward connection. Cheap buy for them to take a stab at it.

This is one of the more WTF decisions that we've made in years. We'll go and take Shiel who won't play for $1 million a year and pay Billings to play for a competitor. Unless we've infected his corpse with leprosy or small pox and thrown him over their battlements to ruin then from the inside this is a weird strategy.

 

[EddieMurphy]

They have their Saints reject slot free...

Too harsh?

 

[Tommy Wigs]

I suppose a couple of picks in the 40s might help flexibility on Trade night. The WA clubs will come for that pick 21. One of those move back two spots for some ridiculous gain.

 

[BrutThough]

Stocker?

Got tats so we know he's tough.

Maybe Byrnes. Might not be established enough but looks like he would make his bed so is obviously weak minded.

 

[L_W_P]

Do we know what pick we are getting?

If we take the Dees' pick 42, add it to our pick 40, then that's worth 120 points MORE than pick 27 for the Suns. Go to the draft with 13, 21 + 27

I'd take that.

 

[George]

George books his holidays to see Godzilla in a good year.

No difference for him

Haha it was for work. Meant to go again in November but going in Feb instead. Either way, won't miss a second of the action next year
